I don't know who spread the word about the international medical exchange, but in the past two days, a lot of people have been secretly coming to see Xu Xinning. They are all former classmates. Although they are not that close, and Xu Xinning doesn't even recognize some of them, they used to be in the same classroom, so the word "classmate" carries a special feeling.
Mu Jingheng has been very busy these past few days and hasn't been home for several days. Xu Xinning has been staying in the school's staff quarters for convenience, and she eats all her meals in the school cafeteria.
Du Changpu is practically Xu Xinning's assistant now; he helps her with everything at school.
As the time for the medical exchange drew closer, Old Man Ouyang even sent his beloved grandson to be Xu Xinning's assistant.
With two assistants, Xu Xinning is now quite relaxed.
Du Changpu wasn't there when school let out at noon; Xu Xinning was accompanied by Ouyang Changshan, the grandson of the Ouyang family.
Du Changpu usually does the work of getting the food, but she's not here today, so Ouyang Changshan is helping her get the food.
The pregnant woman got hungry quickly, and Ouyang Changshan hadn't returned for a long time.
Xu Xinning found it strange; this had taken far too long, and it didn't seem right no matter how she looked at it.
Xu Xinning packed her things and slowly walked towards the cafeteria. She thought that if she ran into Ouyang Changshan on the way, she would take the food home to eat, and then she could take a nap, saving herself the trouble of running around.
There weren't many pedestrians on the street during mealtime.
Xu Xinning then walked slowly.
Now that the weather is warmer, you can wear a jacket in the morning and evening, and a shirt or long-sleeved dress at noon.
After Xu Xinning got pregnant, she mostly wore dresses.
Wearing a dress while pregnant is convenient, especially when going to the toilet.
Xu Xinning wore a pale yellow Peter Pan collar dress today, with tiny flowers embroidered on the collar and hem. She wore a thin white cardigan over it and white canvas shoes. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail.
Xu Xinning has fair skin that looks almost transparent and very supple under the sun.
From the front, Xu Xinning's belly looks quite big, but from the back, she doesn't look pregnant at all.
The midday sun dappled through the leaves, casting warm but not scorching rays upon me, a temperature that was very comfortable.
A gentle breeze stirred her hair, and Xu Xinning casually tucked it behind her ears. However, like mischievous children, it soon slipped out again.
Xu Xinning did this action repeatedly without getting tired of it.
"Teacher Xu~" someone suddenly called out.
Xu Xinning stopped and turned to look at the person.
The girl named Xu Xinning was someone Xu Xinning knew was her classmate from her previous class, even though she had never spoken to her before.
The girl jogged up to Xu Xinning and said with a smile, "I think you look a lot like me. I was hesitant to call out at first, afraid I'd mistake you for someone else. Are you going to the cafeteria, Teacher Xu?"
Xu Xinning: "Yes!"
Girl: "I never imagined that we, who were classmates sitting in the same classroom, would have such a sudden change in status."
Xu Xinning: "You all have another year before you go your separate ways."
Girl: "Yes! They were originally recommended from various places. After completing their studies, they naturally want to go back and contribute their talents to better serve the patients."
Xu Xinning nodded and said, "That makes sense."
After hesitating for a moment, the girl suddenly stopped and asked Xu Xinning, "Teacher Xu, I heard there's going to be a Sino-foreign medical exchange event. Do you know how many representatives our school will be sending to learn from them?"
Xu Xinning wasn't surprised that she would ask that question, because so many people had been asking her that recently.
Xu Xinning shook her head and said, "I don't know."
The girl felt that Xu Xinning was just brushing her off, so she said a little excitedly, "I heard that you will be the leader of this exchange meeting, how come you don't even know that?"
Xu Xinning wasn't angry at her words and replied, "You said it yourself, I'm only in charge of medical skills, but I don't manage anything else. You also know that this is an international exchange, so the country attaches great importance to this exchange, and there are dedicated people in charge of each link."
Girl: "Teacher Xu, your position at this exchange meeting is not to be underestimated. You will definitely have several assistants with you. Do you think I can do it? I really don't want to give up this learning opportunity."
Xu Xinning: "I think you've seen the two people I've been with recently. One is someone you all know, our former teacher Du Changpu, and the other is Teacher Ouyang. They both studied medicine from a young age. Since this is an international exchange conference, we will definitely go all out and not allow any negligence. I know you all want to participate, but don't worry, the school has taken care of that. As far as I know, we will all be coming to our school for classes, so you don't need to worry about not being able to participate."
The girl looked delighted: "Really?"
Xu Xinning smiled: "Absolutely true."
Girl: "Thank you! Thank you so much, Teacher Xu!"
Xu Xinning: You're welcome!
Xu Xinning walked all the way to the cafeteria but did not see Ouyang Changshan.
Xu Xinning found it strange. Even if he had eaten and then got food for her, he should have gone back by now. Why was he nowhere to be seen?
Xu Xinning craned her neck to look for people everywhere, but she couldn't find Ouyang Changshan.
Xu Xinning frowned. Where did this person go? It's as if he's disappeared.
In those days, you had to bring your own lunchbox or bowls and chopsticks when you ate in the cafeteria.
Xu Xinning's lunchbox was taken by Ouyang Changshan, so she had nothing to put food in her hands, which meant she couldn't eat in the cafeteria.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu~"
Xu Xinning looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the cafeteria lady calling her.
Xu Xinning approached.
The cafeteria lady immediately asked, "Teacher Xu, did you forget to bring your lunchbox?"
Xu Xinning replied with a smile, "I forgot to bring it."
The cafeteria lady smiled kindly and said, "It's normal to forget things when you're pregnant. When I was pregnant, I often forgot things. Sometimes I would have my keys in my hand but still look for them everywhere. Ms. Xu, just tell me what you want to eat. There are bowls in the cafeteria, and I'll go get them for you."
Xu Xinning: "Thank you so much!"
The cafeteria lady waved her hand and laughed, "It's no big deal! It's not worth it, it's not worth it. Teacher Xu, please wait a moment, I'll get you a bowl right away."
Xu Xinning nodded, and while she had some free time, she looked around the cafeteria again, but unfortunately she still didn't see Ouyang Changshan.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Changshan, whom Xu Xinning was looking for, was having a fight with his girlfriend Ye Jiang in a corner of the school!
